Knox Theological Seminary is an independent, evangelical seminary founded in 1989 by Dr. D. James Kennedy. The school offers "Christ-centered, gospel-driven, and mission-focused" ministry training at its residential facility in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and through its Internet campus, Knox Online.
Named after the Scottish Reformer John Knox, Knox Theological Seminary was founded in 1989 by Dr. D. James Kennedy (1930–2007), the senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Kennedy wanted to build an institution that would teach and equip men and women to become pastors, teachers, evangelists, and lay workers who would fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and impact culture in every area. The goal, he said, was to train ministers who will "stand for truth without compromise and have a zeal for evangelism."
The school graduated its first class in 1993 and was granted accreditation by the Association of Theological Schools in 2003. Knox obtained ATS approval in 2012 to offer two Master's degree programs (Biblical and Theological Studies, Christianity and Culture) entirely online. Knox Seminary was a subsidiary of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church for the first 24 years of its existence but became an independent free-standing institution under the exclusive governance of its own board of directors on July 1, 2013.
Knox’s 35 full-time, adjunct, and visiting instructors give students enrolled in its four degree programs instruction designed to "train the mind and nurture the heart." The Knox faculty includes Gerald Bray, Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology; Bryan Chapell, Distinguished Professor of Preaching; and Bruce Waltke, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament.
Knox currently offers four degree programs: Doctor of Ministry, Master of Divinity, Master of Arts (Christian and Classical Studies) and Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies). It also offers a Certificate in Christian Ministry.[1]
Knox received accreditation in 2003 through the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.[2] ATS accreditation is recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation for the accreditation of graduate professional theological education.
